  The carnivals of the municipalities of Manzaneda, Viana do Bolo and Vilariño de Conso, in the province of Orense, receive this joint distinction for their ancestral character and cultural values.. The Secretary of State, Rosario Sánchez, values the union between the town councils to make the request and that their festivities ‘have been preserved to a greater extent than in other places’.
